House  Building  Efficiency  at  Its  Highest  Pitch 

ANEW  Idea  in  Building  Efficiency  has  been  born.  It  is  so  broad  in  its  scope  that  it  cannot 
be  adequately  described  in  printer’s  ink — only  those  who  actually  take  advantage  of  this 
Idea  can  appreciate  its  merit.  Briefly,  however,  it  is  the  idea  of  standardizing  and  sys¬ 
tematizing  the  manufacture  of  ECONOMICAL  houses.  A  careful  study  of  these  pages,  we  be¬ 
lieve,  will  give  you  some  conception  of  what  this  means  to  you — how,  by  building  a  Pacific 
House,  you  can  enjoy  advantages  you  never  before  even  dreamed  of. 


Forging  Ahead 

We  are  living  in  a  progressive  age — industry  is  being  modernized  and  this  applies  to  the  con¬ 
duction  of  houses  the  same  as  the  construction  of  automobiles.  Our  System  of  construction  is 
?  MODERN  System,  originated  and  pioneered  by  us  in  California  especially  for  those  who 
sh  an  economical  home  with  all  the  up-to-date  comforts. 

The  big  demand  for  our  houses  is  overwhelming  evidence  of  the  great  success  of  our 
.ethods.  Time  after  time  we  have  doubled  our  manufacturing  capacity  and  we  are  still  grow- 
lg  at  a  pace  not  equaled  by  any  other  house-building  firm  in  all  Western  America. 


Conscientious  Service 

The  object  of  this  Bungalow  Book  is  to  enable  you  to  purchase  with  the  greatest  economy 
and  with  the  least  trouble  a  home  to  suit  your  particular  requirements. 

We  explain  in  a  clear,  concise  manner  our  clean-cut  proposition.  We  want  you  to  realize 
that  when  you  do  business  with  us,  you  .deal  with  an  organization  which  really  has  a  human 
conscience,  always  ready  to  do  the  right  thing,  always  willing  to  serve  you  in  the  most  satis¬ 
factory  way  and  always  anxious  to  gain  you  as  another  permanent  friend. 


We  Manufacture  Two  Distinct  Types  of  Houses 

While  the  legally  incorporated  name  of  this  concern,  Pacific  Portable  Construction  Com¬ 
pany,  might  possibly  suggest  to  the  reader  that  we  construct  only  portable  dwellings,  this  is 
>t  entirely  the  case.  We  do  build  hundreds  of  substantial  portable  dwellings  popularly  known 
Pacific  Factory-Built  Houses,  yearly, — in  fact  we  construct  more  than  any  other  concern  in 
e  West,  but  the  major  part  of  our  business  is  devoted  to  constructing  Pacific  Ready-Cut 
uses,  which  are  absolutely  as  permanent  and  sound  as  any  well-built,  high-class  structure, 
are  the  pioneer  manufacturers  of  Ready-Cut  Houses  in  California.

The  House  Building  Industry  Revolutionized 


During  the  fifteen  years  tha-t  this  firm  has  been  engaged  in  constructing  inexper^  ^  louse 
we  have  revolutionized  the  entire  business  and  have  placed  it  on  a  practical,  scientifi^-^^^j.  - 
have  perfected  both  the  Factory-Built  and  the  Ready-Cut  system  to  such  a  high  <  {gggjfl 
are  able  to  give  those  of  moderate  means  a  home,  which  constructed  along  the  usu 
often  cost  twice  as  much. 

Our  construction  facilities  are  unequaled  elsewhere.  We  operate  on  a  big  brc 

material  in  cargo  quantities,  (ordinary  contractors  are  unable  to  do  this)  ;  do  as 

construction  work  as  possible  by  fast,  accurate  machinery ;  eliminate  every  featui 

systematize  the  entire  work ;  and  sell  DIRECT  to  you,  thus  cutting  out  agents’  and  fi 

profits.  This  results  in  saving  you  a  vast  amount  of  money,  you  get  the  very  best  tri^ 

highest  class  construction  work  and  absolute  satisfaction  is  guaranteed.  Pacific  Houses  mill 

attractive,  desirable  features  seldom  found  in  homes  of  three  times  their  cost.  No  houses  "ions  at  the 

mble,  with- 

less  of  price  can  surpass  the  durability  of  these  sound,  permanently  constructed  houses.

The  Originators  of  the  Ready-Cut  System 

The  Pacific  Ready-Cut  System  of  building  houses  for  less  money  was  originated  and  pio¬ 
neered  by  us  here  in  California.  Concerns  here  and  in  other  parts  of  the  United  States  have 
attempted  to  imitate  our  successful  methods;  but  so  comprehensive  is  our  experience  along  this 
line,  so  immense  are  our  facilities,  so  powerful  are  our  buying  advantages  that  we  are  able  to 
give  almost  unheard-of-values — values  far  in  excess  of  those  given  by  any  other  concern  in  the 
country,  excluding  none. 

We  can  give  you  scores— even  hundreds  of  facts  which  will  prove  conclusively  that  you 
can  save  the  greatest  amount  of  money,  get  the  fullest  value,  the  most  unique  features,  the 
finest  construction — that  you  can  get  beyond  question  the  best  built  house  for  the  least  money  by 
purchasing  a  Pacific  House.

Constructing  a 
Pacific  Ready-Cut  House 

Starting. 

As  soon  as  the  materials  are  received  and  checked  against  the 
material  list,  the  carpenters  can  start  right  to  work  on  the  founda¬ 
tion  and  floor  construction.  From  the  very  start  no  time  is  lost  in 
waiting  for  materials,  as  everything  is  delivered  at  the  same  time. 
The  length  of  time  consumed  by  the  work  depends  on  the  number  of 
men  employed,  but  with  an  average  crew  the  foundation  and  floor 
should  be  finished  at  the  end  of  the  first  day. 


One  Day  Later. 

The  second  day  should  see  the  framing  of  walls  and  partitions 
completely  finished.  The  fact  that  all  the  studs,  cripples,  headers, 
etc.,  are  already  cut  to  the  exact  size  required,  makes  this  framing 
a  very  easy  task.

Three  Days  Later. 

In  three  days’  time  the  house  takes  definite  shape.  The  roof 
framing  is  very  simple,  as  the  rafters  are  already  cut,  notched  and 
bevelled  ready  to  be  nailed  together.  The  roof  sheathing  and  siding 
are  all  cut  to  the  exact  size  required,  and  go  on  very  rapidly.  When 
the  building  is  this  far  along  the  plumber  can  begin  work  on  his 
roughing-in. 


that

Five  Days’  Work. 

Under  ordinary  conditions  the  fifth  day  should  see  the  roughing-in 
practically  completed,  the  roof  finished,  and  the  building  ready  for 
the  plasterers.  If  plaster-board  is  used  for  the  interior,  the  carpen¬ 
ters  can  go  right  ahead  with  their  work,  but  when  the  building  is 
plastered  it  is  necessary  to  wait  until  the  plaster  has  dried  out  be¬ 
fore  going  ahead  with  the  finish. 


The  Building  Completed. 

This  cut  shows  the  house  a  few  days  later  with  the  frames  set 
and  the  windows  in  place,  the  painting  finished  and  the  building 
all  ready  for  occupancy.  There  are  no  extras  or  “tail  ends’’  to 
cause  unlooked-for  delays  and  the  work  on  the  interior  finish  and 
built-in  features  progresses  rapidly  and  smoothly,  as  everything  is 
all  figured  out  beforehand  and  there  is  nothing  left  for  the  carpenter 
to  do  but  follow  the  drawings  and  instructions.

Important ! 

Difference  Between  Ready-Cut  and 
Factory-Built  Houses 

We  have  found  it  advisable  and  more  convenient  to 
combine  in  this  Bungalow  book  the  descriptions  of 
both  the  Ready-Cut  and  Factory-Built  types  of  bouses, 
for  the  reason  that  many  desire  to  purchase  the  former 
type  and  others  the  latter.  For  most  of  the  designs 
you  will  note  in  our  Price  List  that  we  quote  three 
different  prices.  The  general  specifications  are  prac¬ 
tically  the  same. 

Pacific  Ready-Cut  Houses  are  not  constructed  in 
sections  at  the  mill  and  are  not  portable.  All  material 
is  cut  to  fit  at  the  mill  and  the  lumber  is  prepared, 
marked  and  numbered,  ready  to  be  nailed  in  place, 
and  we  furnish  complete  working  drawings  and  in¬ 
structions.  But  none  of  the  carpenter  labor  is  done  at 
the  mill.  The  ready-cut  prices  include  all  materials 
from  the  ground  up — lumber  cut  to  exact  size,  fine  in¬ 
side  finish,  roofing,  flooring,  hardware,  paint,  sash, 
doors,  etc. — everything  furnished  complete.  All  your 
carpenter  has  to  do  when  the  material  reaches  the  job, 
is  to  nail  each  piece  in  its  proper  place,  and  you  have 
the  best  fitting  and  most  permanent  home  your  money 
can  possibly  buy. 

Pacific  Ready-Cut  Houses  are  built  much  on  the 
same  order  as  a  modern  sky-scraper.  The  material  is 
all  cut,  measured  and  pre-fitted  at  the  mill  by  machin¬ 
ery.  When  the  material  reaches  the  job  all  that  need 
be  done  is,  simply  put  each  piece  in  its  proper  place. 

The  material  for  the  ordinary  house  built  by  the  old 
out-of-date  method  is  furnished  in  a  raw  state  in 
lengths  from  the  sawmill.  It  is  then  necessary  for  the 
carpenter  to  saw  and  fit  the  required  sizes  by  slow 
hand  methods.  The  Pacific  Ready-Cut  system  does 
away  with  expensive  features  of  home  building  and 
places  the  manufacture  of  houses  on  the  most  efficient 
basis  possible. 

Pacific  Factory-Built  Houses  are  constructed  in 
complete  finished  sections  and  are  shipped  in  this  com¬ 
pact  form.  We  perform  practically  all  the  carpenter 
work  at  the  mill,  stain  the  sections,  put  on  the  priming 
coat  of  paint,  install  hardware,  hang  windows  and 
doors,  etc.,  so  that  really  all  you  need  do  when  you 
purchase  this  type  of  house  is  simply  to  have  the  sec¬ 
tions  assembled  and  put  on  the  finishing  coats  of 
paint.  Little  or  no  carpenter  labor  is  necessary.  We 
furnish  free  of  charge  an  expert  to  superintend  and 
assist  in  the  erection  of  our  Factory-Built  houses.  (See 
terms  on  page  81.)  Pacific  Factory-Built  houses  can 
be  easily  disassembled  and  moved  from  place  to  place, 
as  they  are  sectional. 


Assembling  a 

Pacific  Factory-Built  House 


FABRICATING  THE  HOUSE  AT  MILL 
The  house  is  built  in  finished  sections  at  the 
mill,  painted  and  stained,  ready  to  assemble,  with¬ 
out  delay. 


ERECTING — 4  HOURS’  TIME. 

Within  4  hours  from  the  time  the  carpenters 
start  to  assemble,  the  floor  should  be  down  and 
some  of  the  side  sections  fitted  in  place. 


ONE  DAY’S  WORK. 

By  the  end  of  the  first  day  the  sections  should  all 
be  in  place  and  the  roof  erected. 


TWO  DAYS’  WORK — COMPLETED. 

The  finishing  touches  are  added  the  second  day, 
the  shelves  placed  and  the  doors  hung  and  the 
sanitas  cloth  and  battens  put  on.  Houses  of  larger 
size  take  a  longer  time  to  erect,  but  in  the  same 
proportion.

Our  New  Mills 

We  have  recently  moved  our  manufacturing  plant  to  the  location  shown  above  where  every¬ 
thing  is  arranged  in  the  most  practical  and  convenient  manner.  The  track  is  depressed  so  that  the 
car  floor  comes  level  with  the  ground  and  the  materials  can  be  loaded  from  the  assembling  bins  in 
the  factory  building  on  either  side.  The  mill  is  equipped  with  the  most  modern  and  efficient  wood¬ 
working  machinery,  including  special  machines  for  trimming  sash,  mortising  doors  for  locks,  manu¬ 
facturing  cupboard  doors,  etc.  Each  stick  of  lumber  comes  from  the  boat  direct  to  our  yard;  is  un¬ 
loaded,  seasoned,  milled,  cut  to  the  required  size,  marked,  bundled  and  shipped  without  one  bit 
of  lost  labor  and  with  practically  no  waste  of  material.  The  capacity  output  is  fifteen  houses  per 
day.  Shipments  made  from  here  on  any  transportation  line. 

Dwellings  Built  to  Last 

Pacific  Ready-Cut  Houses  cannot  be  taken  apart.  An  expert  carpenter  cannot  tell  them 
from  any  other  first-class  permanent  frame  dwelling,  because  there  is  no  difference  except  that 
the  lumber  in  Ready-Cut  Houses  is  more  cleanly  and  accurately  milled.  They  are  certainly  the 
most  durable  type  of  houses  possible  to  build  at  low  cost. 

Our  houses  are 
equal  to  absolute¬ 
ly  the  best  perma¬ 
nent  construction 
known  to  the 
building  industry. 

They  are  not  flim¬ 
sy,  lightly  con¬ 
structed  houses,- 
as  some  unin¬ 
formed,  preju¬ 
diced  people  might 
possibly  think. 

Don’t  thin  k 
that  the  Ready- 
Cut  System  will 
not  be  practical  in 
YOUR  case.  IT 
WILL!  We  can 
prove  it!  Satis¬ 
faction  is  a  cer¬ 
tainty.

Standardized  Homes 


By  standardizing  the  manufacture  of  homes  along  the  same  lines  as  the  automobile  industry, 
we  are  able  to  save  home-builders  hundreds  of  dollars.  Imagine  the  cost  of  constructing  just  one 
or  a  few  of  the  automobiles  instead  of  thousands.  Why  the  expense  would  be  prohibitive!  The 
ready-cut  home  building  industry,  as  pioneered  and  perfected  exclusively  by  the  Pacific  Portable 
Construction  Company,  is  a  parallel  idea  of  the  modern  automobile  industry.  Instead  of  manu¬ 
facturing  one  house  at  a  time  as  is  ordinarily  the  case,  we  manufacture  dozens.  The  great  sav¬ 
ing  we  are  able  to  make  is  readily  apparent  to  every  home-builder.  Oftentimes  we  learn  that 
customers  make  large  enough  savings  to  pay  for  all  the  new  furnishings  of  their  homes. 


Real  Homes  —  Not  Ordinary  Houses 


Salesmen’s  Booths  and  Corner  of  Drafting  Department 


Pacific  Houses 
are  “livable” 
places  for  you 
and  your  family 
to  spend  your 
lives  in.  They 
seem  “home”  to 
you  from  the 
hour  you  take 
possession.  They 
make  for  cheer 
and  comfort  and 
happiness  and  you 
will  be  just  as 
proud  and  just  as 
happy  i  n  your 
Pacific  home  as  if 
it  cost  as  much  as 
a  mansion.

Study  the  picture  on  these  two  pages.  It  vividly  illustrates 
the  vast  improvement  of  our  system  over  the  ordinary  way. 
Instead  of  the  lumber  taking  a  zig-zag  course  before  it  reaches 
its  final  destination  in  your  new  home  it  comes  to  you  in  the 
most  direct  way  with  many  special  value  features  added. 

Machine  Labor  Versus  Slow  Hand  Labor 

Fast,  accurate  machines  can  do  work  quicker,  better,  and  at  a 
much  lower  cost  than  slow,  inefficient  hand  labor.  Who  pays 
for  this  slow  hand  labor,  the  price  of  which  is  rapidly  advancing 
year  after  year?  You  do!  When  building  by  the  ordinary 
method,  who  pays  the  bill  for  wasted  material?  You  do!  Who 
pays  for  the  architect’s  mistakes?  You  do!  Who  pays  all  the 
profits?  You  do!  Did  you  ever  stop  to  think  of  this  appalling 
waste?  We  did!  That’s  why  we  perfected  the  Ready-Cut  Sys¬ 
tem.  It  helps  you  make  an  actual  cash  saving.  It  eliminates  the 
bulk  of  this  superfluous  expense. 

Every  bit  of  work  that  CAN  be  done  by  machines  should  be. 
We  have  machines  at  our  mill  which  take  the  place  of  scores  of 
men.  One  certain  machine  alone  does  the  work  of  twelve  men, 
and  it  does  it  with  wonderful  accuracy  and  perfection.  It  takes 
about  thirty  cents’  worth  of  power  to  operate  this  machine  dur¬ 
ing  the  day.  The  approximate  cost  of  the  twelve  men  would  be 
sixty  dollars.  We  have  many  other  machines  that  make  ap¬ 
proximately  the  same  saving.  You  can  very  easily  imagine  the 
dollars  you  can  save  by  this  modern  system.

We  Don’t  Waste  a  Foot  of  Lumber 

A  prominent  Chicago  beef  packer  once  said  that  the  only 
thing  he  loses  in  his  plant  is  the  pig’s  squeal.  Borrowing  this 
thought  we  might  say  that  the  only  thing  we  lose  in  our  big 
mills  is  the  hum  of  the  machines.  Even  the  sawdust  is  saved. 
When  you  construct  your  house  by  the  old  method  sometimes 
wagon-load  after  wagon-load  of  waste  lumber  accumulates. 
This  means  a  tremendous  loss — a  loss,  including  not  only  the 
rough  framing  materials,  but  also  the  selected  finish  stock. 
The  Pacific  System  cuts  loss  down  to  practically  nothing,  mak¬ 
ing  your  home-building  100%  efficient. 

Immense  Facilities 

We  own  the  largest  exclusive  direct-to-customer  house 
manufacturing  establishment  in  Western  America.  Our  mills 
have  every  modern  facility  for  the  handling  and  preparing  of 
lumber  at  a  minimum  cost — everything  is  systematized,  there 
is  no  lost  energy,  no  waste,  no  loose  ways,  no  lax  methods. 
Everything  is  right.

Your  Dollar  Buys  $1.20  Worth  of  Value 

Out  of  every  $100  you  ordinarily  pay  for  lumber  to  build  your  house  about  $20  usually  goes 
into  the  waste  pile,  an  actual  dead  loss.  You  KEEP  that  $20  in  your  pocket  when  you  take  advan¬ 
tage  of  the  Pacific  System.  No  lumber  goes  to  waste.  Why  deliberately  throw  money  away 
by  building  by  the  old  method? 

You  are  saved  money  from  the  waste  pile  by  scientific  planning,  designing  and  cutting.  Not 
only  can  you  save  over  15%  lumber,  but  from  30%  to  50%  carpenter  labor,  weeks  of  time, 
trouble  and  worry,  big  freight  bills,  etc.  You  don’t  have  to  pay  big  Contractors’  profits,  Archi¬ 
tects'  fees,  etc.  We  eliminate  the  unnecessary  waste. 

Our  System  is,  without  a  doubt,  the  greatest  money-saving  construction  system  in  exist¬ 
ence.  We  can  cite  fact  after  fact  that  will  prove  that  we  can  save  you  an  immense  amount  of 
money  in  building  your  house ;  we  can  show  how  you  will  get  better  construction  work  in  count¬ 
less  ways. 


You  Save  Extra  Freight 

A  most  ridiculous  remark  we  hear  from  time  to  time,  is  that  the  buyer  is  obliged  to  pay 
freight  on  a  Pacific  House  but  saves  the  freight  bill  if  he  buys  from  the  local  lumber  dealer. 
Now  your  local  dealer  must  pay  freight  on  all  his  lumber,  which  he  naturally  adds  to  the  cost  of 
the  material.  The  transportation  charge  on  a  Pacific  House  is  generally  less  than  for  raw  ma¬ 
terial  and  it  comes  direct  to  you,  instead  of  by  the  zig-zag  method  as  ordinarily  is  the  case.  The 
lumber  dealer  must  pay  a  considerable  amount  of  freight  on  wasted  material— the  consumer  foots 
the  bill — but  there’s  hardly  a  foot  of  wasted  lumber  when  you  buy  a  Pacific  House — therefore 
minimum  freight. 

Our  method  of  shipping  all  the  required  material  to  you  at  one  time  is  a  large  item  in  reducing 
your  construction  cost. 

Buyers  of  Pacific  Houses  pay  no  local  yard  charges  for  unnecessary  handling,  nor  any  of 
the  other  costs,  such  as  heavy  selling  expense,  overhead  expense,  special  taxes,  etc.

The  freight  cost  on  a  Pacific  House  is  far  less  than  on 
the  lumber  you  buy  at  the  retailer’s.  By  the  ordinary 
method  the  lumber  first  goes  to  the  sawmill,  then  to  the 
wholesaler,  then  to  the  retailer  and  finally  to  you,  adding 
freight  each  time  it  is  moved.  Compare  this  with  our  direct 
way  of  handling  the  lumber.  We  have  it  transported  from 
the  forest  center  in  cargo  lots  to  our  mills  where  it  is  sea¬ 
soned,  milled,  marked  and  sent  on  to  you.  And  the  beauty 
about  this  is  that  you  pay  freight  on  what  actually  is  used 
in  constructing  your  home,  whereas  ordinarily  you  have  a  Factory-Built  House  Ready  to  Deliver 

lot  of  waste  material  which  is  a  dead  loss  and  on  which  you  also  pay  freight. 


Excellent  Facilities  for  Shipping 

Our  facilities  are  unexcelled  for  prompt  shipping.  We  have  a  special  spur  track  leading 
into  our  mill  yards  connecting  with  all  the  railroads  and  the  Pacific  Electric.  The  box  cars  are 
loaded  right  in  our  mills.  We  also  operate  a  fleet  of  heavy  motor  trucks  for  delivery  in  the 
vicinity  of  Los  Angeles. 

On  request  we  will  quote  you  a  price  on  any  style  shown  in  this  book,  either  Ready-Cut  or 
Factory-Built,  delivered  to  your  destination. 


Lowest  Freight  Charges 

We  are  very  careful  in  making  shipments  to  see  that  the  lowest  transportation  rates  are  ob¬ 
tained.  Oftentimes  we  have  two  or  more  shipments  going  to  one  locality  and  at  such  times  we 
are  able  to  make  you  a  great  freight  saving. 

As  we  assume  the  liability  of  shipping  it  goes  without  saying  that  we  pack  all  material  with 
extreme  care. 

You  will  find  that  it  is  just  as  practicable  to  buy  a  Pacific  House  if  you  live  1000  miles  from 
Los  Angeles  as  if  you  live  right  here. 


Another  Way  of  Saving  Freight 

It  most  always  happens  that  purchasers  of  Pacific  Houses  are  having  other  shipments, 
such  as  furniture  and  other  household  goods  made  at  about  the  same  time  as  when  their  new 
home  is  being  shipped.  When  such  is  the  case,  we  can,  as  a  rule,  combine  the  shipments  and 
save  the  purchaser  considerable  money. 


Prompt,  Complete  Shipments 

You  receive  all  your  building  material  promptly,  and  you  are  able  to  begin  the  erection  of 
your  home  almost  immediately  upon  its  arrival.  Through  our  method  of  construction,  most  of 
the  difficult  portion  of  the  work  of  building  your  home  has  been  done  before  you  receive  the 
material.  All  the  planning,  the  intricate  sawing,  cutting  and  measuring  has  been  accomplished 
by  building  experts. 

Just  One  Profit— Not  Several 


In  buying  a  Pacific  House,  you  are  not  paying  a  big  profit  to  the  jobber,  another  profit  to 

the  wholesaler  and  still  another  profit  to  the  local  lumber  dealer,  and 
in  addition  to  all  that  expense,  freight  for  shipping  the  lumber  to  all 
these  several  points  of  distribution.  These  concerns  are  all  necessarily 
hampered  with  expensive  “red  tape.”  We  sell  for  cash  only,  whereas, 
they  sell  for  credit  and  must  add  from  5%  to  20%  for  this  credit  privilege, 
in  order  to  balance  up  the  expense  of  extra  bookkeeping  and  the  large 
outlay  of  money.  We  are  satisfied  with  just  one  nominal  profit,  whereas, 
if  you  build  by  the  ordinary  method,  you  are  obliged  to  pay  several  profits. 
You  buy  your  bouse  DIRECT  from  the  pioneer  manufacturers  of  Ready-

Ready-Cut  Houses  a  Boon  to  Carpenters 

The  old  system  of  construction  with  its  tremendous  waste  and  large 
amount  of  slow  hand  labor  was  all  right  years  ago  when  labor  and  lumber 
were  cheap  but  now  the  cry  of  the  hour  is  ECONOMY  and  many  carpen¬ 
ters,  realizing  this,  are  enthusiastically  adopting  our  Ready-Cut  System 
and  are  not  only  able  to  oftentimes  save  Home-builders  hundreds  of 
dollars  but  can  handle  twice  and  three  times  as  much  work. 

Our  system  is  a  big  help  to  carpenters  and  we  are  always  glad  to 
co-operate  with  them. 

By  keeping  a  close  record  on  labor  we  find  the  average  saving  on 
this  alone  is  well  over  25%,  which  is  made  possible  by  our  way  of  pre¬ 
paring  the  lumber.  Now  for  example,  a  great  proportion  of  the  carpen¬ 
ter's  time  is  spent  in  slow  cutting  of  framing  timbers.  We  do  this  by 
“lightning-speed”  machinery,  so  that  the  carpenter  can  devote  almost  his 
entire  time  to  nailing  the  pieces  together. 

We  always  advise  our  customers  to  employ  a  local  carpenter  to  erect 
Pacific  Ready-Cut  Houses,  if  one  of  our  expert  carpenter  foremen  does 
not  superintend  the  job.  The  carpenter  is  the  man  who,  by  following  our  simple  instructions, 
can  erect  your  house  in  the  very  shortest  time. 

We  are  always  glad  to  have  carpenters  communicate  with  us  and  those  who  do,  find  that 
our  System  is  a  great  booster  for  them. 


Machine  labor  does  quicker, 
better  work 


We  Sell  Miscellaneous  Lumber 

We  order  our  lumber  in  big  cargo  shipments  and  so  are  better  able  to  sell  miscellaneous  lum¬ 
ber  than  ordinary  retail  concerns.  We  pride  ourselves  on  the  extra  high  quality  of  lumber  car¬ 
ried  and  we  honestly  believe  that  you  cannot  purchase  better  quality  lumber  elsewhere  on  the 
coast  for  the  price  we  ask.  Send  in  your  estimates  and  let  us  give  you  a  figure.  A  large 
majority  of  our  customers  purchase  extra  lumber  for  one  reason  or  another — board  walks, 
fences,  rabbit  and  chicken  houses,  etc. 


The  Way  You  Receive  Your  Ready-Cut  Material 

When  you  purchase  a  Pacific  Ready-Cut  House  you  receive  plenty  of  material  to  completely 
finish  your  home  and  it  is  all  prepared  ready  to  nail  together.  The  pieces  are  marked,  measured 
and  prepared  at  the  mill  and  this  work  is  done  much  better  than  can  possibly  be  done  by  an  ordi¬ 
nary  carpenter.  We  take  extreme  care  in  preparing  this  lumber  so  that  the  home-builder  is  saved 
the  greatest  amount  of  money  in  the  end.  We  cut-to-size  sills,  joists,  girders,  flooring,  plates, 
studding,  rafters,  siding,  sheathing,  stools,  headers,  door  and  window  casings,  and  in  fact,  prac¬ 
tically  everything  except  baseboards  and  moulding,  which  must  be  fitted  on  the  job. 

The  material  is  all  bundled  and  marked  and  each  mark  must  correspond  as  shown  on  the 
detailed  plans  furnished  with  each  house.  Carpenters  have  been  amazed  at  the  time  they  are 
able  to  save  by  receiving  material  ready-cut.  All  the  slow  tedious  work,  which  proves  to  be  the 
most  expensive  part  of  building,  has  already  been  accomplished  and  the  dwelling  can  be  erected 
weeks  sooner. 

Doors  are  cut  to  length  and  mortised  ready  to  receive  locks. 

The  Way  You  Receive  Your  Factory-Built  House 

When  you  purchase  a  Pacific  Factory-Built  House  you  receive  it  in  complete,  finished  sec¬ 
tions,  stained  or  painted  and  with  hardware  installed,  as  per  specifications.  As  most  of  the  con¬ 
struction  work  is  performed  at  our  mill  very  little  carpenter  labor  is  necessary  when  the  ship¬ 
ment  reaches  its  destination.  As  explained  under  terms,  page  81,  we  will  furnish  one  of  our 
expert  foremen  to  superintend  and  assist  in  the  erection  of  the  house — providing  the  purchaser 
pays  for  his  car  fare,  board  and  room  rent  and  furnishes  three  competent  helpers  with  tools.  Our 
Factory-Built  Houses  can  be  easily  disassembled  and  moved,  as  they  are  sectional. 

In  remote  districts  where  good  carpenter  labor  is  scarce  and  lumber  prices-  are  high,  our 
Factory-Built  Houses  can  be  erected  for  sometimes  less  than  half  the  cost  of  ordinary  houses.

No  Expensive  Extras 

If  you  have  ever  built  for  yourself  you  know  that  the  exasperating  feature  is  the  long  list 
of  “extras”  that  increase  as  the  construction  goes  forward.  There's  no  need  to  worry  on  this 
feature  when  you  buy  a  Pacific  House,  as  our  Estimators  figure  the  cost  of  everything  for  you 
and  tell  you  just  exactly  what  is  required.  Then  you  know  everything  that  is  needed  and  can 
know  intelligently  what  the  complete  cost  is  going  to  be. 


Carefully  Inspected  Materials 

Every  single  item  of  material,  before  leaving  our  factory,  is  carefully  inspected  for  defects, 
mistakes  and  shortage,  so  that  it  is  practically  impossible  for  a  mistake  to  occur. 

Nothing  But  the  Best  of  Lumber 

We  order  our  lumber  in  cargo  quantities  and  are  not  content  to  accept  just  the  ordinary 
run  of  lumber,  but  every  piece  must  conform  to  our  high  standard,  and  we  recognize  but  one 
standard  of  lumber— the  BEST.  Buying  as  we  do,  we  are  able  to  obtain  the  rock  bottom  cost. 
It  is  difficult  to  duplicate  the  quality  of  lumber  we  offer.  Every  piece  is  thoroughly  seasoned  and 
sound.  No  second-hand  material  ever  used. 

As  an  example  of  how  superior  our  lumber  is,  we  might  say  here,  that  in  some  parts  of 
Arizona  where  scores  of  these  houses  have  been  sold  during  the  past  few  years,  it  is  utterly 
impossible  for  residents  there  to  obtain  lumber  that  can  compare  with  lumber  we  furnish,  and 
even  the  poor  grade  of  lumber  that  is  sold  by  the  average  lumber  dealer  in  that  state  is  con¬ 
siderably  more  expensive. 

All  material  furnished  is  guaranteed  to  be  absolutely  satisfactory  in  every  respect.  We  agree 
to  deliver  every  piece  to  you  free  from  damage  in  shipment  and  guarantee  to  furnish  plenty  of 
material  to  completely  finish  the  entire  house. 

For  the  interior  woodwork  we  furnish  the  best  grade  of  Oregon  pine,  beautifully  grained. 
Lumber  for  baseboard,  casing,  paneling,  molding,  etc.,  is  all  carefully  selected. 

The  height  of  walls  in  Pacific  Houses  is  eight  feet  two  inches,  nine  feet,  or  ten  feet,  from 
floor  to  ceiling,  according  to  specifications,  but  they  can  be  made  higher  if  desired. 

Liability  Insurance 

We  carry  workmen's  compensation  insurance  on  all  men  employed  by  us  and  this  protects 
the  customer  against  any  loss  through  injury  of  our  workmen  when  erecting  your  house. 


General  Specifications 

Foundation 

Our  prices  do  not  include  brick,  stone  or  cement,  as  every  locality  produces  this  material  at 
about  the  same  cost.  It  is,  of  course,  optional  whether  you  use  concrete,  stone  or  brick.  Our 
prices  include  redwood  mudsills  for  the  foundation.  (Note  in  the  specifications  that  with  some 
designs  we  include  4x6  redwood  mudsills  and  for  others  a  raised  framework.)  A  raised  framework 
foundation  is  necessary  where  the  ground  is  uneven.  We  furnish  our  foundation  complete  so  that 
if  the  purchaser  desires  he  can  erect  the  building  without  the  use  of  a  cement  or  brick  foundation. 
We  always  furnish  sufficient  siding  or  shakes,  or  the  same  material  which  covers  the  outside  of  the 
building,  to  cover  foundation  we  furnish.  Necessary  steps  for  all  outside  openings  are  also  furnished. 

Staunch  Framing 

It  takes  expert  skill  to  frame  a  house  properly  and  it  must  always  be  done  by  some  one  who 
knows  his  business.  We  pay  particular  attention  to  this  and  in  cutting  our  studding,  braces,  truss¬ 
ing,  etc.,  do  so  with  the  idea  of  giving  the  framework  the  maximum  of  solidity  so  that  the  struc¬ 
ture  will  be  staunch  and  solid. 

Roofing 

When  prepared  roofing  is  specified,  purchasers  have  the  option  of  either  2-ply  asbestos  or  3-ply 
sanded,  and  a  shingled  roof  may  be  had  at  slight  additional  expense.  We  can  also  furnish  the  red  or 
gray  granite  roofing,  if  desired.  We  have  a  special  process  for  cementing  seams  and  furnish  special 
long  roofing  nails — making  the  roof  absolutely  water-tight  and  extremely  durable. 

Ventilators 

Screened  ventilators  are  installed  in  the  gables  and  if  desired  these  may  be  covered  with  lattice. 
We  install  these  ventilators  to  insure  a  good  circulation  of  air  between  the  ceiling  and  the  roof, 
making  the  dwelling  cool  in  summer. 

Window  Sash 

The  window  sash  we  furnish  are  of  the  finest  grade.  They  have  mortise  and  tenon  joints,  re¬ 
inforced  with  steel  dowel  pins  instead  of  wooden  dowel  pins  and  glue.  All  casement  sash  are  ope¬ 
rated  with  our  specially-made  heavy  casement  adjuster,  which  locks  them  either  open  or  closed.  All 
sash  and  sash  doors  are  furnished  with  glass  installed  and  the  hardware  is  included. 

Screens 

We  furnish  screens  as  specified  for  all  outside  doors  and  windows.  Screens  for  windows  are 
sliding  type,  with  springs  to  hold  them  in  any  position. 

Doors 

The  regular  stock  doors  we  furnish  are  Colonial  style,  134"  thick,  with  five  panels  and  fitted  with 
mortise  lock.  These  doors  are  well  built  and  will  not  warp  or  become  loose.  Prices  quoted  on  special 
doors.  Many  purchasers  prefer  veneered  doors  for  the  front,  and  we  are  able  to  quote  the  lowest 
prices  on  Mahogany,  Oak,  Circassian  Walnut,  Birch  and  other  woods. 

Paints 

Paints  and  stains  are  furnished  as  specified.  We  always  furnish  ample  quantity  to  finish  both 
exterior  and  interior  without  skimping.  The  paints  we  furnish  are  especially  ground  and  mixed,  and 
are  strictly  first-class.  They  will  give  absolute  satisfaction  on  the  desert  or  at  the  sea-shore.  Our 
Factory-Built  Houses  are,  of  course,  stained  or  painted  with  the  priming  coat  at  the  mill. 

Hard  ware 

Our  prices  include  all  locks,  hinges,  nails  of  every  size,  window  weights,  sash  lifts,  drawer  pulls, 
handles,  knobs,  and  in  fact,  everything  in  the  line  of  hardware  that  is  necessary  to  completely  fin¬ 
ish  the  house. 

Plaster  Board 

The  use  of  plaster  board  in  both  our  Ready-Cut  and  Factory-Built  Houses  is  rapidly  increasing 
in  popularity.  We  furnish  the  most  durable  plaster  board  that  can  be  had.  It  is  not  ordinary  cheap, 
light  wall  board,  but  a  composition  of  strong,  scientifically-constructed  cement  plaster.  It  cannot 
loosen  from  dampness  as  will  the  ordinary  plaster,  nor  will  it  split,  tear,  crack,  expand,  buckle  or 
warp.  It  is  vermin-proof,  sanitary  and  fire-resisting.  From  a  number  of  actual  tests  made  we  find 
that  less  heat  is  required  to  keep  the  house  warm  in  winter  time  when  our  special  plaster  board  is 
used,  and  the  interior  can  be  kept  much  cooler  in  summer  time,  as  it  is  extremely  difficult  for  heat 
or  cold  to  penetrate.  We  can  furnish  a  special  paste  filler,  which,  when  mixed  with  water,  can  be 
used  to  fill  the  cracks  where  the  plaster  board  is  joined  together,  giving  a  smooth  surface  upon 
which  you  can  paper  direct  or  tint  any  desired  color.  But  most  people  prefer  to  nail  battens  along 
the  joints  and  this  gives  the  ceiling  and  walls  quite  a  cosy  effect.  No  nail  marks  or  blemishes  of 
any  kind  show  when  this  plaster  board  is  used,  and  anyone  can  easily  nail  it  on.  This  plaster  board 
is  just  as  durable  as  lath  and  plaster.  It  comes  in  strips  which  are  long  enough  to  run  the  full  length 
of  the  room  and  is  forty-eight  inches  wide.

Sanitas  Cloth 

Clean  and  Attractive 

We  use  Sanitas  cloth  extensively  in  Pacific 
Houses  where  the  customer  does  not  wish 
to  go  to  the  expense  of  finishing  with  lath 
and  plaster  or  plaster-board.  Sanitas  comes 
in  dull  and  gloss  finishes  and  wide  latitude 
is  afforded  in  selecting  designs.  We  let  the 
customer  make  the  selection,  or  if  desired 
our  Decorative  Department  will  make  the 
selection,  bearing  in  mind  the  particular 
finish  of  woodwork  in  each  room,  in  order 
to  create  the  most  harmonious  effects.  In 
the  bathroom  and  kitchen  we  usually  use 
the  gloss  finish  in  attractive  tile  patterns, 
and  in  the  other  rooms  the  dull  finish  in 
decorative  designs.  Pretty  color  combina¬ 
tions  in  pink,  blue,  brown,  yellow,  gray, 
green,  Spanish  leather,  etc.,  are  available, 
and  very  artistic  effects  may  be  obtained  by 
using  two  patterns  in  some  of  the  rooms, 
divided  by  moulding  or  plate  rail.  Sanitas 
can  always  be  wiped  clean  with  a  cloth  and 
it  is  very  durable.  Samples  gladly  sub¬ 
mitted. 


The  Value  of  Insulating  Felt 

You  will  note  that  in  most  of  the  specifications  we  include  insulating  felt  in  the  construction 
of  walls,  partitions  and  ceilings.  This  is  one  of  the  special  features.  This  felt  is  a  splendid  insu¬ 
lator,  keeping  out  the  heat  in  summer  and  keeping  out  the  cold  in  winter.  It  is  also  wind,  water 
and  dust-proof.  The  use  of  insulating  felt  makes  our  single-wall  houses  very  comfortable  and 
practical. 


Exactly  as  You  Would  Plan 

Pacific  Houses  are  the  kind  you  yourself  would  plan.  In  fact,  you  will  plan  yours,  for  you 
will  choose  from  among  the  many  exactly  the  one  that  suits  your  every  need  as  to  space  and  the 
number  and  arrangement  of  rooms.  We  do  not  believe  you  will  be  able  to  find  a  single  fault  in  the 
arrangement  of  our  plans,  because  every  plan  has  been  studied  by  our  corps  of  Designers  from 
every  angle.  The  designs  are  as  near  perfect  as  human  ingenuity  and  experience  can  make 
them.  No  waste  space,  awkward  dimensions  or  dark  corners.  Our  regular  plans  do  not  cost  you 
one  cent. 


Specifications  Can  Be  Changed 

We  will  gladly  change  the  specifications  of  any  of  our  regular  plans  to  suit  the  customer’s 
fancies.  For  instance,  we  can  reverse  the  plan  or  change  the  location  of  doors  and  windows  with¬ 
out  any  extra  cost.  The  same  applies  to  paints,  stains,  etc.  We  are  always  glad  to  co-operate  with 
our  customers  in  order  that  everything  be  perfectly  satisfactory.

Typical  Blue-Print  Elevation. 

Complete  Plans  for  Each  House 

Your  carpenter  doesn’t  lose  a  minute's  time  in  picking  out  the  ready-cut  pieces.  We  furnish 
an  individual  set  of  instructions  with  each  house,  which  can  be  easily  read  and  understood;  also 
a  full  set  of  plans,  including  three  blue-print  elevations,  door-plan,  foundation  plan,  details  of 
wall  construction,  of  porch  construction  and  of  built-in  features.  These  plans  are  mathematically 
correct  in  every  detail  and  it  is  impossible  for  anyone  to  make  a  mistake.  With  each  Ready-Cut 
House  we  furnish  a  complete  material  list,  giving  amount,  size  and  detailed  description  of  all  ma¬ 
terial.  People  marvel  at  the  speed  with  which  a  Pacific  House  is  erected.  There  is  no  waiting 
for  missing  or  extra  material  to  arrive. 

Our  Estimates  Do  Not  Cost  You  a  Cent 

AVe  are  alvyays  glad  to  answer  questions  and  give  estimates,  whether  you  plan  to  buy  a  house 
now  oi  later.  Pick  out  the  plans  you  like  best  in  this  Bungalow  Book  and  ask  us  to  give  you  an 
estimate  for  them  delivered  and  erected  on  your  property,  ready  for  occupancy,  with  wiring, 
plumbing,  etc.,  installed. 

If  you  do  not  find  a  plan  that  meets  with  your  requirements  write  to  us,  giving  an  idea  of 
just  what  you  want,  and  we  will  write  you  fully  regarding  it. 

If  your  location  is  too  far  from  Los  Angeles  for  us  to  quote  you  a  finished  price,  we  can  then 
name  you  a  price  delivered  to  your  destination,  and  tell  you  approximate¬ 
ly  the  cost  of  finishing  the  building,  and  if  desired,  we  can  furnish  a 
foreman. 

Your  Needs  Anticipated 

Master  Architects  have  planned  the  home  of  your  selection.  They 
have  spent  days,  weeks,  months,  to  develop  the  design  to  a  state  of  per¬ 
fection.  They  have  probably  moved  over  a  door  here,  put  in  a  window 
there,  and  widened  one  of  the  rooms  in  order  to  better  the  design.  You 
can  rest  assured  that  the  design  you  pick  is  as  near  perfect  as  long  archi¬ 
tectural  experience  can  make  it,  for  the  reasonable  price  asked. 

A  Safeguard  Against  Mistakes 

The  average  architect,  contractor  and  carpenter  are  all  liable  to  make 
costly  mistakes,  and  they  do.  But  when  a  half  a  dozen  experienced  build¬ 
ers  and  designers  get  together,  and  carefully  study  each  and  every  detail 
from  all  angles  and  work  in  unison,  there  is  the  least  chance  for  mistakes. 

Every  Pacific  House  must  stand  the  rigid  test  of  approval  of  six  or  more 
of  our  most  skilled  designers.  Their  searching  analysis  finds  every  mis¬ 
take  and  weakness.  No  other  concern  in  the  West  can  give  such  a  high 
degree  of  real,  helpful,  practical  service.

Three  Prices  Quoted 

FOR  PRICE  LIST,  SEE  INSIDE  OF  BACK  COVER. 

In  our  price  list  you  will  note  that  we  quote  three  different  prices  for  many  of  the  houses;  one 
price  for  the  house  Ready-Cut  according  to  specifications  given  with  the  plan  and  including  all  mate¬ 
rials  necessary  for  the  completion  of  the  house  in  every  respect;  second  price  for  the  house  Factory- 
Built  (sectional)  according  to  specifications  given  with  the  plan,  constructed  in  finished  sections 
ready  to  assemble  and  including  all  materials  necessary  for  the  completion  of  the  house;  third  price 
for  the  house  Ready-Cut  ready  for  lath  and  plaster,  including  all  interior  finish  lumber  and  every¬ 
thing  necessary  for  the  completion  of  the  building  with  the  exception  of  lath  and  plaster. 

On  most  of  the  larger  houses  we  have  given  only  two  prices,  as  these  houses  are  seldom  con¬ 
structed  except  with  lath  and  plaster  or  plaster-board.  One  price  covers  the  cost  of  all  materials 
with  the  exception  of  lath  and  plaster  and  the  other  price  is  for  the  same  building  including  plaster¬ 
board  for  all  walls  and  ceilings  together  with  the  necessary  tinting  materials  and  battens,  mouldings, 
etc.,  to  cover  the  joints  in  the  plaster-board.  We  have  not  included  the  cost  of  lath  and  plaster  or 
masonry  in  any  of  our  plans,  as  these  can  usually  be  obtained  more  reasonably  if  contracted  locally 
than  if  we  furnish  the  materials.  However,  we  will  gladly  give  you  an  estimate  on  plastering  and 
cement  work,  if  desired. 

Plaster  Yardage 

With  the  price  of  each  Ready-Cut  house  ready  for  lath  and  plaster  we  give  the  number  of 
yards  of  plaster  required.  You  can  easily  ascertain  from  your  local  plaster  contractor  how  much 
it  will  cost  to  lath  and  plaster  the  dwelling  you  select,  by  giving  him  the  yardage.

You  Should  See  Our  Big  Exhibit  of  Sample  Houses 

In  this  Bungalow  Book  we  have  endeavored  to  describe  in  a  brief  and  concise  manner  the 
important  features  of  Pacific  Houses  and  illustrate  a  few  of  the  most  popular  designs.  How¬ 
ever,  we  cannot  adequately  describe  in  print  the  wonderful  value  and  practicability  of  these 
houses.  We  find  that  the  easiest  way  for  the  prospective  home-builder  to  appreciate  the  big 
value  of  these  structures  is  to  visit  our  big  public  exhibition  maintained  at  Fifteenth  and  Hill 
Streets,  Los  Angeles.  A  dozen  charming  Pacific  houses  are  open  every  week-day  for  inspec¬ 
tion.  These  are  representative  types  of  houses  embodying  scores  of  the  very  latest  features.  This 
Exhibit  has  been  erected  at  a  cost  of  thousands  of  dollars,  and  is  the  largest  house  exhibit  in 
the  United  States,  to  our  knowledge.  We  urge  you  to  visit  and  examine  these  houses  at  your 
earliest  convenience.  Courteous  salesmen  are  employed,  not  to  urge  you  to  buy,  but  to  explain 
the  unique  features  and  answer  all  questions  conscientiously.  You  are  also  cordially  invited  to 
visit  our  large  modern  factory  at  the  corner  of  Boyle  and  Slauson  Avenues.  We  are  always  glad 
to  have  prospective  customers  learn  all  about  these  houses  and  how  they  are  constructed. 

Your  Railroad  Fare  Refunded 

Frankly  speaking,  we  are  anxious  for  you  to  see  this  exhibit,  and  if  you  live  within  100 
miles  of  Los  Angeles,  we  will,  as  an  added  inducement,  gladly  refund  your  railroad  fare,  if  you 
purchase  a  house  costing  $300  or  over. 

Typical  Bungalows 

The  genuine  bungalow  style  of  architecture,  copied  from  the  low-thatched  houses  of  East 
India,  will  never  lose  its  popularity.  Since  the  establishment  of  this  concern  fifteen  years  ago,  we 

have  designed  and  manufactured  thousands  of 
typical  bungalows,  always  striving  to  improve  our 
worJk.  This  long  experience  is  at  your  service. 

Colonial  Styles 

Colonial  architecture  in  small  houses  is  coming 
into  its  own  at  a  rapid  pace,  and  we  show  in  this 
book  a  number  of  our  most  popular  designs,  the 
inspiration  for  which  has  been  taken  from  the 
stately  but  graceful  Colonial  mansions  of  our 
forefathers.  This  pretty  style  of  architecture  may 
be  had  at  practically  no  increase  in  price. 

Swiss  Chalets 

To  remove  the  severity  of  two-story  construc¬ 
tion  and  add  a  touch  of  picturesqueness,  the  Swiss 
Chalet  type  of  architecture  is  being  popularized 
in  America  and  to  keep  pace  with  the  demands  of 
home-builders  we  show  some  representative  de¬ 
signs. 

Stucco  Styles 

With  the  advent  of  durable  exterior  white  plas¬ 
ter,  stucco  construction  has  seemed  to  make  a 
wonderful  appeal  to  many  home-builders.  There 
is  no  end  to  the  number  of  attractive  combina¬ 
tions  which  may  be  had  with  stucco.  If  this  style 
appeals  to  you,  consult  with  our  Designers  and 
they  can  give  you  some  valuable  ideas,  quote 
prices,  etc.

Consult  With  Us 

We  want  you,  if  you  are  contemplating  owning  a  home  now  or  in  the  future,  to  talk  with 
us.  All  we  ask  is  the  opportunity  to  place  before  you  the  facts  in  full.  Pacific  Houses  reflect  the 
American  spirit  because  they  represent  the  highest  type  of  efficiency  and  give  the  best  value  for 
the  money  invested.  They  are  as  enduring  as  structures  costing  three  times  as  much. 

One  In  Your  Neighborhood 

There  are  thousands  of  Pacific  Houses  in  California,  Arizona  and  other  western  states  and. 
no  doubt,  there  are  a  number  in  your  vicinity.  Write  us  and  we  will  gladly  tell  you  where  one 
of  these  houses  is  located  so  that  you  can  go  and  personally  examine  same. 

Export  Business 

Large  recent  shipments  of  Pacific  Houses  have  been  made  to  foreign  ports,  such  as  Hono¬ 
lulu  (for  the  United  States  Government),  and  to  Mexico,  South  American  countries,  and  Bel¬ 
gium.  We  invariably  make  shipments  on  the  first  steamer  sailing  after  receipt  of  order.  Orders 
from  foreign  customers  receive  careful  attention  and  correspondence  is  encouraged.

This  is,  we  believe,  one  of  the  most  attractive  and  inspiring  bungalows  ever  designed. 
The  largest  woman's  monthly  magazine  in  circulation  recently  selected  it  from  several  thous¬ 
and  designs  for  publication,  because  of  its  charming  exterior  appearance  and  the  fact  that  it 
could  be  constructed  inexpensively.  It  is  unnecessary  for  us  to  describe  its  many  attractions. 
The  photograph  speaks  for  itself.

Bungalow  Courts  and  Apartments 


Style  40 


From  the  standpoint  of  investment,  a  bungalow  court  yields  the  greatest 
return  of  money.  We  know  of  cases  where  the  owners  of  courts  have  real¬ 
ized  a  yield  of  30%.  Two  50x150  lots  or  even  less  space  is  sufficient  for 
six  good-sized  houses  with  plenty  of  space  between  and  by  the  judicious 
placing  of  shrubs,  flowers,  ferns,  etc.,  the  court  can  be  made  extremely  at¬ 
tractive.  We  are  always  glad  to  give  advice  on  the  erection  of  courts,  sug¬ 
gesting  how  to  derive  the  maximum  results  from  a  minimum  expenditure.

Mess  Houses 

The  above  style  is  a  conveniently  ar¬ 
ranged  mess  house,  suitable  for  use 
where  a  large  number  of  men  are  em¬ 
ployed.  This  style  of  structure  is  inex¬ 
pensive  and  quick  deliveries  can  always 
be  made.  Buildings  of  this  nature  are 
in  great  demand  by  large  corporations, 
as  they  can  be  disassembled  and  moved 
from  place  to  place.  Ask  for  prices. 

Barns 

Demand  for  barns  of  low  cost  has 
led  us  to  design  structures  of  this  char¬ 
acter  that  would  be  strong  and  durable 
and  which  at  the  same  time  could  be 
sold  at  a  reasonable  cost.  We  can  also 
send  material  cut-to-fit  for  stalls,  har¬ 
ness  room,  bins,  etc.

Bunk  Houses 

The  many  advantages  of  purchasing  bunk  houses  from  us  need  no  argument  here.  In  remote 
districts  where  carpenter  labor  is  scarce  or  high  and  lumber  prices  also  high,  Pacific  hunk  houses 
and  other  such  structures  make  a  big  saving  in  money  and  time.  We  construct  these  in  as  elabo¬ 
rate  a  manner  as  desired,  and  can  make  immediate  delivery.  They  can  be  constructed  in  sizes  to 
accommodate  any  number  of  occupants.  Our  Factory-Built  bunk  houses  are  especially  desirable

Well  seasoned  lumber,  free

especially  practicable.  Prices

Permanent  Built-In  Furniture 


Articles  of  woodwork  that  have  all  the  features  of  regular  furniture  except  that  they  are  not 
movable,  are  quite  the  vogue  nowadays.  Built-in  features  appeal  particularly  to  the  housewife. 
They  are  easy  for  her  to  keep  clean  because  they  are  out  of  the 
way  and  present  the  least  chance  for  dust  to  collect  upon.  She 
can  keep  her  table  cloths,  napkins  and  silverware  in  her  din¬ 
ing-room  buffet.  The  kitchen  cupboard  protects  her  cooking 
utensils  and  other  articles  from  the  dust.  A  cozy  seat  here  or 
there  affords  a  convenient  resting  place  and  if  its  cover  is 
hinged  it  is  a  handy  receptacle  for  shoes,  toys  and  miscellane¬ 
ous  household  articles.  Built-in  furniture  is  convenient  be¬ 
cause  it  stays  put,  always  in  place,  ready  to  serve  the  many 
needs  of  the  home’s  occupants.  Having  a  place  for  every¬ 
thing,  it’s  easy  enough  to  keep  everything  in  its  place.  That 
means  efficiency  in  the  business  of  keeping  house.  The  beauty 
and  homelike  appeal  of  permanent  furniture  are  also  important 
qualities. 

We  specialize  in  the  creation  of  unique  features,  which  we 
furnish  you  in  the  way  of  built-in  buffets,  bookcases,  daven¬ 
ports,  window  seats,  couches,  beds,  and  mirrors,  and  in  the  ar¬ 
rangement  of  rooms.  In  the  application  of  decorative  effects 
and  in  countless  other  ways  Pacific  Houses  are  absolutely  with¬ 
out  an  equal  from  the  standpoint  of  unique  features.  Special 
attention  is  called  to  the  attractive  built-in  features  on  page  76.

have  been  improved  upon,  until  now 
these  plans,  as  shown  here,  are  as

can  make  them.  We  are  specialists 
in  manufacturing  houses.  Through 
years  of  study  of  efficient  methods 
and  applying  our  experience  to  the 
construction  of  Pacific  Houses,  we 
are  not  only  able  to  minimize  pro¬ 
duction  costs  but  to  eliminate  all 
waste  of  materials  and  to  approach 
nearer  to  the  point  of  perfection 
than  is  possible  under  any  other 
circumstances.

prices  on  fixtures  of  all  kinds,  including  different  styles  of  bath  tubs,  toilets,  lavatories,  sinks, 
laundry  trays,  etc.  We  can  also  furnish  fittings  and  roughing-in  material  for  same.  The  ship¬ 
ment  of  plumbing  goods  can  be  made  at  the  same  time  as  the  building  material,  so  that  the 
minimum  freight  charge  is  afforded.  If  you  live  in  or  within  a  convenient  distance  of  Los  An¬ 
geles,  we  can  arrange  to  have  our  plumbers  install  the  fixtures  at  the  lowest  cost.

Lighting  Fixtures 


We  are  able  to  quote  consistent  prices  on  all  kinds  of  lighting  fixtures  and  are  invariably 
able  to  save  purchasers  of  Pacific  Houses  considerable  money  and  trouble.  On  this  page  are 
shown  several  of  the  regular  stock  fixtures  which  are  popular  with  home  builders.  Globes  of 
various  designs  can  be  placed  on  the  fixtures.  If  you  do  not  see  any  styles  on  this  page  that  suit 
you,  write  and  we  will  send  you  a  special  fixture  circular,  showing  many  other  styles.  Write 
us  for  prices  and  full  details. 


Shades,  Furnishings,  Chimneys,  Etc. 

As  a  convenience  to  purchasers  we  can  ship  window  shades  at  the  same  time  the  house  is 
sent.  These  can  be  supplied  in  any  combination  of  colors  to  harmonize  with  interior  and  ex¬ 
terior.  Many  folks,  and  in  particular  those  living  distant  from  Los  Angeles,  find  that  they  can 
make  considerable  saving  by  buying  their  house  furnishings  from  us.  Prices  gladly  quoted 
upon  request. 

Furnishings  for  your  house  can  usually  be  shipped  in  the  same  car  as  the  house.  This  will 
save  you  the  freight  on  the  furnishings  when  the  house  is  shipped  as  an  emigrant  movable  car 
load.  We  will  be  glad  to  co-operate  with  you  in  seeing  that  the  furnishings  are  packed  in  the 
car  with  care,  whether  they  are  purchased  from  us  or  elsewhere. 

Most  of  our  customers  prefer  to  build  their  own  chimneys  or  have  a  local  brick  mason  do 
the  work.  However,  we  can  furnish  an  inexpensive  terra  cotta  chimney,  and  this  serves  the 
purpose  just  as  well,  in  practically  every  case,  as  a  brick  one.

We  Want  to  Send  Your  Friends  This  Bungalow  Book 


j 


We  would  greatly  appreciate  your  sending  us  names  of  friends  who  contemplate  building 
a  home,  as  we  will  gladly  send  all  interested  parties  a  copy  of  this  bungalow  book.  In  your  list 
of  acquaintances  there  are  possibly  a  number  of  friends  who  would  like  a  copy  of  this  book. 


Houses  Erected  by  Us 

We  will  contract  with  purchasers,  if  the  location  is  near  Los  Angeles,  to  set  up  either  our 
Ready-Cut  or  Factory  Built  houses,  ready  for  occupancy,  or  we  will  quote  you  a  price  delivered 
to  destination,  and  furnish  you  with  an  expert  foreman. 


Greater  Home-Building  Activities 

The  cost  of  home  building  is  increasing  like  everything  else.  It  is  very  improbable  that 
building  material  prices  will  decrease  for  many  years,  as  there  will  be  even  greater  need  for 
material  after  the  war  than  now,  and  certainly  the  cost  of  labor  will  remain  as  high  as  it  is  now 
and  will  even  increase.  Wise  home  builders  appreciate  this  condition  and  are  investing  in  homes 
now,  before  prices  increase  to  where  the  cost  will  be  prohibitive  for  those  of  moderate  means 
to  build.  Fortunate  purchases  of  material  months  ago  have  enabled  us  to  gauge  our  price  basis 
so  that  we  can  figure  the  building  material  we  use  at  below  the  present  market  quotations.  But, 
of  course,  it  is  merely  a  matter  of  time  when  we  shall  be  forced  to  increase  our  prices.  Our  tre¬ 
mendous  buying  power  will  always  permit  us  to  figure  low,  but  it  will  not  permit  us  to  continue 
to  sell  at  the  low  prices  we  are  now  quoting.  It  is  to  your  big  advantage  to  place  your  order 
with  us  at  once  in  order  to  get  your  home  at  the  lowest  possible  cost.  Our  prices  are  subject  to 
change,  but  orders  can  be  placed  now  for  future  delivery.  DON'T  DELAY  BUILDING.  If 
convenient  to  call  at  our  Los  Angeles  offices,  by  all  means  do  so  and  let  us  explain  further  how 
we  can  give  you  the  greatest  house  value  for  the  amount  invested. 


We  Now  Await  Your  Answer 

If  you  have  looked  this  Bungalow  Book  over  carefully,  you  know  of  the  super-value  of 
Pacific  Houses.  You  know  that  our  houses  cost  less,  considering  quality,  than  any  other  type. 
Then  why  wait? 

You  have  nothing  to  gain  by  waiting.  Decide  on  your  new  home  now. 

We  don’t  want  you  to  be  in  doubt  as  to  any  feature  of  our  proposition.  If  there  is  any¬ 
thing  additional  you  want  to  know,  sit  down  right  now  and  write  us — lest  you  forget. 

In  jclosing,  let  us  again  suggest  that  you  make  a  special  effort  to  come  to  our  15th  and  Hill 
Streets  Exhibition  Grounds  and  personally  inspect  the  dozen  attractive  sample  houses.

Terms:  Cash 


We  sell  for  cash  only,  and  this  really  means  a  saving  to  you,  as  it  eliminates  bookkeeping 
and  other  red  tape  which,  in  the  end,  means  a  large  overhead  expense.  All  prices  are  F.  0.  B. 
Los  Angeles  in  car-load  shipments.  Minimum  drayage  charge  is  made  for  less  than  a  car-load 
shipment.  When  these  houses  are  delivered  within  a  short  distance  of  Los  Angeles,  we  can 
arrange  to  have  our  large  motor  trucks  deliver  at  a  nominal  cost. 

Owing  to  unsettled  market  conditions,  all  prices  are  subject  to  change  without  notice. 


Terms  for  Pacific  Ready-Cut  Houses 

One-fourth  of  the  price  to  be  paid  with  order,  plus  freight,  if  prepaid ;  balance  payable  on 
receipt  of  sight  draft  with  bill  of  lading  attached,  (C.  O.  D.)  The  purchaser  is  at  liberty  to 
thoroughly  examine  the  shipment  before  receiving  same  from  the  railroad.  At  a  nominal  cost 
we  will  furnish  an  expert  foreman  to  superintend  and  assist  in  the  erection,  the  buyer  to  pay 
for  his  wages,  carfare,  board  and  room. 


Terms  for  Pacific  Factory-Built  Houses 

One-fourth  of  the  price  to  be  paid  with  order,  plus  freight,  if  prepaid ;  balance  payable  on 
receipt  of  sight  draft  with  bill  of  lading  attached,  (C.  O.  D.)  If  desired,  we  will  furnish  one 
of  our  expert  foremen  to  superintend  and  assist  in  the  erection  of  a  Factory-Built  House,  free 
of  cost,  the  purchaser  to  furnish  his  carfare,  board  and  room.  When  we  furnish  a  foreman,  the 
balance,  instead  of  being  payable  C.  O.  D.,  is  payable  after  the  building  is  erected  and  found 
to  be  entirely  satisfactory  and  exactly  as  represented.

What  Owners  Say 

Taft,  Calif. 

“Our  house  is  sure  a  satisfaction  in  every  way.  Lumber  com¬ 
panies  can’t  compete  with  you  either  in  price  or  quality  of 
material.”  Very  truly,  J.  W.  CLEMENS. 

Globe,  Arizona. 

“I  can  say  without  fear  of  contradiction  that  better  material 
than  is  used  in  your  houses  cannot  be  obtained  in  Arizona.  Resi¬ 
dents  here  zvho  have  examined  the  ready-cut  material  you  ship 
have  been  amazed  at  the  high  quality.  1  knozv  many  parties  in 
this  part  of  Arizona  who  have  saved  several  hundred  dollars  by 
buying  their  homes  from  you.  I  note  that  a  number  of  prominent 
corporations  are  also  buying  your  houses  for  industrial  purposes. 
You  certainly  have  perfected  the  best  house-building  system  ever 
introduced.”  Very  truly,  IV.  E.  FINNEY. 

Glendale,  Calif. 

“I  wish  to  say  that  the  6-room  bungalow  and  garage  which  you 
recently  furnished  me  have  proven  entirely  satisfactory,  and  I  am 
satisfic'd  that  I  not  only  saved  several  hundred  dollars,  but 
received  better  service  by  dealing  with  you  than  I  could  have 
received  in  any  other  zvay. 

“The  little  bungalow  zvliich  I  purchased  from  you  several  years 
ago  has  also  given  very  good  service,  and  when  I  am  in  need  of 
buildings  zvill  most  certainly  get  in  touch  with  you.” 

Very  truly,  MRS.  H.  NORMANDY. 

Santa  Barbara,  Calif. 

“In  the  purchase  of  my  Pacific  house  everything  has  turned  out 
to  my  entire  satisfaction,  and  I  zvish  to  congratulate  you  on  the
